TROUBLE FOR SALISBURY.

An Imperative Demand for Immediate
Action on Measures Affecting Ireland.
LONDON, March "A Conservative movement

Cabinet council convoked for to-day was post
poned by Lord Salisbury one hour before the
time fixed for the meeting. in order to enable him
to have separate consultations with the ministers
and reconcile differences as to the extent to
which coercion shall be carried in Ireland. The
Cabinet meeting will be held to morrow.
Viscount Lymington has written a letter
which reflects the feeling of the Liberal union
lists. protesting that the governments want of
action, nerve and courage is para lyzins their
treatment of the Irish question and taking. day
by day, all heart and principle out of the union
ist cause He declares that a vast majority of
the Liberal-unionists are ready to accord the
government whatever strong measures may be
necessary but that it is insufferable, from any
point OF view, that an Irish Nationalist Loyalist
government should be permitted to exist,
which, while refusing Ireland power to
govern itself, refuses to govern Ireland After
denouncing halfway, pettfoggng measures,
prostitution of constitutional forms-such as
jury-packing and the policy of fumbing lawyers
and confusing officials-he concludes: IAN ir-
resolute government is impossible. The only
alternative is home rule"
Referring to Viscount Lymington's letter, the
Pail Mall Gazette says: ''The sequel to this
authoritative declaration should be the with
6rawal of the coercion bill and the substitution
of the home-rule bill drafted by Salisbury and
Harrington"

Serious Rioting at Lubeck.
BERLIN, March 2-The second ballots for
members of the Reichstag in the districts where
candidates failed to receive maiorties in the
first election day, took place to-day The con-
test in each district is between the two candi-
dates who received the highest number of votes
in the original polling. Returns have already

votes: In Lubbock, Telling, National Liberal,
burg. Websky. National Liberal, 0,9S0; Eberty,
New German Liberal. 10, 625
The reballot in the first division Of Berlin
resulted in the election of Klotz, New German
Liberal, who polled 9.061 votes against 7,794
for the Septenst candidate. In the second d.
vision Vrchow, New German Liberal de-
feated Wolff, Septenist In the third Munckel,

Baumbach. New German Liberal, had IL, SIG
votes, and Blume, Septenist, S03l The fourth
and sixth divisions were carried ia the first con-
test by the Socialists. Berlin thus returned six
Deputies opposed to the septsnate.
At Lubbock the Socialists engaged in riot
after the announcement of the result OF the
election there, in which their candidate was de-
feated. The military interviewed and made
many arrests. A number of those arrested have
since been released.
The military bill has again been submitted TO

being sure of majority in the Reichstag, has
proposed to perpetuate the military bil are un-
founded.

DIDN'T WANT GRESHAM.
The Illinois Central's Attorney Objects to the
Judge Trying the lake-Front Case.

CHICAGO, March 2-The great litigation i'm
claim to the harbor front of Chicago came before
Judge Gresham to-day and he was about to give
it his attention when q somewhat sensational in
cident occurred. 1t has been well known
that desire existed in many quarters.

the Wabash railway case that he should try the
lake-front question. The railroad company has
been filing in along the lake shore bordering
its tracks md creating a strip of solid land. to
G4,icss the rohd lays claim. Acting
for the States Attorney general, local lawyers
appeared before Judge Gresham to-day to press
the injunction proceedings begun some time
ago, but dropped on promise since broken that
the company would cease operations. When the
new restraining order asked of Judge
Gresham, today, John n. Jewett arose in behalf
OF the railroad company. and opposed the
motion, saving the Illinois Central wished
the case heard by Judge Blodgett and not by
Judge Gresham Judge Greeham's face flushed
botly, and he interrupted Mr.. Jewett to say that
he would have nothing to do with the case
Nothing could be more offensive to a judge than
he would not try their case fairly. He
had respect for court that would
allow itself to be influenced by personal con-
sideratons or fear to do its duty. He knew
nothing whatever about the case, what in
terests were involved, but no could see
no reason why he should be objected to
as the judge to try it. Under the cir
cumstances he would not touch it. but
he wished it distinctly understood in the future
that any case which came before hin, in the
regular way he would not shrink from hearing
for any iusinuatons of counsel Mr. Jewett did
not reply. The result will probably be that
neither Judges Gresham nor Blodgett, but
Justice Harlan, will hear the case.

glory in the matter of consistency. but, on the
contrary, is keeping up his record dema-
gocue. He was chairman of the subcommittee
which prepared the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill, and, as such. had
charge of the measure when it came before the
House the other day. During the debate he
made fierce attack on the Cvl-ser Com
mission, and attempted to cut down the appro-
priations for it. He was specially anxions to
have the messengers for the Commission dis
pensed with, but he failed ingloriously. and the
House voted the same provisions that were last
year given the Commission. There has been in
the employ of the Commission trifng fellow,
who was tolerated only on account of his family.
On the same dav Mr. Holman made his attack,
this messenger was dismissed for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, and the Commissioners
decided to promote economy by not filing the place
made vacant. To-day. surprise was created at
Civilservice headquarters when the discharged
employe returned with letter from MIR. Hol-
| man asking the Commission to reappont. or re-

would be personal favor to the writer and that
the dismissed messenger a sober, industri-

yet acted upon the recommendation, but it is
probable the letter will be returned to Mr. Hol-

Special to st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The President has rendered an appointment on
the Interstate Commerce Commission to Con-
gresham William R. Cox. of North Carolina
Mr. Cox represents the Raleigh district but was
not reelected. He lost the nomination through
some dissensions in his party. and the Democra-
cy lost the district in November. While Sena-
tor Vance and others Of the old North State have
been at outs with the administration, Mr.. Cox
has stood up for the President. He is chairman
Of the civil-service committee of the House, and
this has tended to bring him into close relations
with the President, for as chairman he has
nodded the work of the committee to conform
with the administration policy. Mr. Cox has
not yet notified the President of his acceptance
but there is scarcely any doubt that he will.

The men who have had the most to do with

pleased with the outlook &for the commission
MorrisonE appointment will be blunt notice
that the spirit of the Constitution governing the
appointment Of Congressman to places they
have helped to create is not to be respected when
political necessity dictates another course. The
determination of the President to name the
Commissioners during the recess however, was
plain evidence that he proposed to consult his
convenience rather than the pub
lie judgment 1t is true that the
Attorney general and some eminent
lawyers of both parties uphold his right
to do this. but it is equally true that other emf
nent lawyers take a different view. Senators
Pugh and Harris are not the only ones who hold
that the commissioners should be confirmed be-
fore they undertake to act. No possible harm
could come if the President accepted their
views while By the opposite course the oppo-
nents of the interstate law are given chance to
interfere with its workings. But the RESPONSE
